Austin Residents Ticked Off That Obama Cut The Line At Beloved BBQ Joint

Nobody -- not even Anthony Bourdain -- cuts the line at Franklin Barbecue, an Austin restaurant famous for its brisket and known for its three-to-five-hour waits. But President Barack Obama isn't quite nobody.

The President apologized to the two patrons at the head of the line whom he displaced and offered to make up for the slight by buying their lunch, according to a White House pool report. He purchased three pounds of beef, two pounds of ribs, a half-pound each of sausage and turkey for Austin resident Bruce Finstad and his daughter, who were eating with two other already seated family members.

"Hold on -- how many folks are y'all feedin'?" Obama asked, according to the White House pool report.

For some Austinites, though, the magnanimous gesture didn't make up for the faux-pas of cutting the line.

Ok traffic is one thing but skipping the line at Franklin BBQ? NO SIR OBAMA WAIT YOUR TURN
